shout out to the gold days when you'd be like '"heading into the Spurs' arena now, talk to you guys in three hours"

sadly Vork took the train, so he couldn't stop at the Sbarro by Gate A18 at Logan on his way in.

Oh

An inside look at how NFL scouts craft their scouting reports An NFL scouting report can range from traditional sentences to a series of color-coded messages, shorthand terms and emoji-like tags.

Fascinating read here on how NFL teams scout for draft, which is generally much more involved and complicated than NBA due to the sheer quantity of players they have to process www.nytimes.com/athletic/706...

maybe not. OTOH we got the best player on a Final 4 team with the 45th pick in the draft because people were hung up on his arms being short. Third guy taken from his own team!

wild because Uber wanted like $4,000

Love it when draft world turns on short-arms guys!

Happy Sloan weekend to all who celebrate. Boarding my SEA-BOS flight rn, not sure how long it takes but can't be more than an hour or two, right?

Fun fact: 19 of the NBA's 30 teams now have winning records. For that you can tank the nine teams at the bottom hoarding all the Ls.

SloMo!

Final: Washington 91, USC 72. Trojans actually led by 3 at half; NCAA hopes now circling the drain.

Washington's Hannes Steinbach with 22 points and 24 rebounds in possibly his final home game before turning pro.

I apologize but we're out of rebounds. Hannes Steinbach has them all.

USC getting absolutely bullied by Washington freshman Hannes Steinbach. Just Moses'd himself a putback and his now up to 22 points and 19 rebounds with six minutes still left to go.

Washington's Hannes Steinbach with 15 points, 13 rebounds and three blocks in the first half, but USC leads the Huskies 43-40 at the break. Alijah Arenas with 13 points for USC.

Nice ovation for UW big man Franck Kepnang as he's introduced at senior day, playing in his (checks notes) sixth season in the Pacific Northwest between Oregon and Washington.

Still some time before tip-off, but right now the scout-to-fan ratio here is at Orlando Summer League levels.

for a day

ummmm WUT

Greetings from Seattle! Here getting a final look at Washington's Hannes Steinbach and USC's Alijah Arenas, since I surely won't be seeing either in the tournament

The Charlotte Hornets are about to go over .500. In basketball.

AI is out of control

No league punishes success like the G

more like O-Minimum Prosper, amIrite?

(jokes aside, he's been much better than in Dallas. Today is last day for Grizzlies to fill the 2-way spot left open by his promotion)

Final: Arizona State 70, No. 14 Kansas 60.

If that was Bobby Hurley's last home game here, hell of a way to go out.

Darryn Peterson 15 points, 10 reb 4 ast 5 stl ... but shot 3-of-18 with 3 turnovers, including getting rejected on a dunk attempt by 6-3 Anthony Johnson in the last minute.

Kansas offense has gone dry. Peterson missed an open 3 on one trip, stepped out of bounds on the next one. 1:13 left and ASU has a 64-55 lead and the ball.

Five straight points from a guy named Anthony Johnson to extend ASU's lead against a Jacque Vaughn-coached Kansas team.

Is this early-aughts Hawks fan fiction?

Peterson drives straight into Odum's chest twice in a row, picks up an offensive foul on the second one for his 4th foul with 5:42 left.

ASU still clinging to 5-point lead here

good call. I'd thought White was out because he was already on the sideline.
